"...having lived in Aus on and off for 30 odd years i have almost switched off to Aussies ability and obsession with patting themselves on the back and blowing their own trumpets"
Gotta agree, born and bred in the country and I am often stunned and amazed at the shallowness that now defines us coast to coast. A shadow of our former community self and stature...... with each successive decade of births never able to personally experience what was already lost to them.....ever shallower upon ever shallower the societal and community behavioral and strength of character pool becomes......till we risk disappearing up our own low tide blow hole actually....couple of decades left till full tilt sociopathic anarchy lol
Fireworks was good I watched it today on TV with my daughter...she enjoyed it, I saw a couple new ones I think...was good but never necessary.
